    It is more extensive than other sites for sure.

    If you wanted to verify a show it could be googled in its own right. On that site the show card can be clicked giving dates, times etc.

    Funnily enough I figured if they slipped past you I would probably get them so I was happy with your selection... even though Dain was on my list as well.

    Question on the upcoming stip: I gather NXT titles count but what about WWECW titles, i.e. when ECW was running as a WWE show? Are they perceived as WWE Titles?

    I thought all the champions of WWECW would have held other WWE championships.

    Happy to have gotten the four guys I did, a lot of my plans went off the table in that last round and I know I won't be picking for a long time again but those guys give me options on my roster. Could be all used in different storyline roles

    2 good picks this morning, I had ideas for all 3 guys (Booker, Godfather and Val) but never thought they would get to me.

    Jesse Ventura going was a blow as I had hoped he would slip through but his lack of Title meant he is not available this round anyway.

    I have some ideas though when it comes round to me, 3 picks in my head.

    Booker is always someone I think about drafting but never pull the trigger on. Ditto with Val Venis. Can be used in a variety of ways.

    Booker was who I considered drafting in the TNA round, before going with Bobby. Am shocked he lasted that long. He's a bonifide main event talent, and is incredibly flexible. I couldn't believe he hadn't gone yet, and was really hoping he'd slip through to my pick.

    Eager to see a few more picks, I had zero names on my list with the stip but a few came to mind today. Want to see if they get wiped off so I can think up a few more.

    Pick made and PM sent. Wasn't sold on one particular wrestler for my pick, so went with Steph. Should be a decent authority figure.

    Nothing setting me alight with ideas at the moment so thought I Stephanie might slip through.

    Lita and Steph are good picks at this stage

    Is this the first year in a while Lita has gone picked alone?

    New rules she has to. The women's world title belts are being treated the same as the men's.

    Stupid equality

    She was a solo pick last year too.

    That was because of a stip though.

    Pick made and PM sent. Feel these guys fit my roster nicely and like I said in the write-up, it provides a nice insurance policy if I need a commissioner/manager type.

    I cam soo close to picking Regal last round (and it would have been with Storm) but atm have Ventura penciled in for that role. I could still trade himself or even someone like Dusty however but as of right now it'd take a very good offer for me to change things up as I dunno how i'd fill that role now with people like Lord Stevie disappearing.

    I'm actually surprised at the lack of trades thus far tbh. Working on graphics for my roster today. This is the type of stuff I love re: Draft time :D

    Ah I was wondering about that :o:o

    It's usually round 5 isn't it? Don't have any trades lined mind, but I can always be tempted.

    Always like seeing a good trade. Mixes it up a good bit. I'm not 100% on a direction or idea for JBL so if anybody is perticularly interested I'd be open to possible business.
